Despite the exploits of Emiliano Martinez in Qatar, the Albiceleste goalkeeper did not fully convince his compatriots.
Designated best goalkeeper of the World Cup in Qatar, Emiliano Martinez was logically selected among the goalkeepers nominated for the FIFA-The Best trophy. The Argentinian goalkeeper is one of the main favorites but will have to be wary of Thibaut Courtois, recently voted best goalkeeper of the year by the IFFHS.
In Argentina, it is one of his glorious predecessors that Dibu Martinez did not forget. The Olé site has indeed asked its Internet users to compose the ideal eleven among the 1978, 1986 and 2022 world champions. And despite the fresh memories of the Qatari World Cup, the doorman of Aston Villa has not made us forget Pato Fillo , who officiated in the goals of the Albiceleste during the World Cup played at home in 1978.
A bad image of Argentina
The one who played until his 40th birthday in the Argentine championship indeed crushes the ballot with no less than 58% of the vote against only 40% for Emiliano Martinez, Nery Pumpido, crowned in 1986 with Diego Maradona not having left a memory imperishable as evidenced by its 2% of votes.
And according to many Internet users, Emiliano Martinez pays there for his eccentricities during the celebrations which followed the coronation of the Albiceleste. If he made many supporters happy, some fans did not necessarily like the attitude of the native of Mar del Plata, accusing him of having given a bad image of Argentina.
